Work Experience

Senior Executive Officer - Multimedia Developer 12/2009 - present
CCEA, Claredon Dock, Belfast
Currently working within the Multimedia branch of CCEA developing ASP.NET web applications built in both VB and C#. I develop standard compliant applications that are highly accessible and usable.

I have gained invaluable experience working on projects alongside highly experienced developers in an environment that encourages continious learning. I have benefited from the opportunity to enhance my knowledge of PhotoShop, PHP, Flex and Drupal with useful practical training.

Customer Service Advisor 10/2008 - 12/2009
B&Q, Sprucefield Retail Park, Lisburn
I provided customer services within the store whilst resolving customer complaints and inquiries on a regular basis. The open recruitment policy of B&Q presented with me the useful opportunity to work alongside colleagues from a range of differing backgrounds, which has benefitted my ability to communicate more effectively and efficiently with people regardless of gender, age or race.

Student Programmer 08/2007 - 08/2008
Northern Ireland Civil Service, Web Solutions, Belfast
I gained invaluable experience with many development languages and gathered a firm understanding of Internet accessibility and usability using hand coded valid XHTML and CSS. I built and maintained various Government Internet and Intranet web sites, all of which were constructed under strict Government guidelines and content managed.

I was also able to develop my project management skills by leading several high profile ASP.Net projects for various Government departments. In addition I underwent certified training courses for LiveLink Content Management System and ASP.NET with Visual Basic.
